So, anyone getting the Canucks shakes yet? I know I sure am. It’s tough not seeing Matty Ohlund throw some dude into the boards or watch little Kyle Wellwood skate around with his shiner like a mini playoff goon every other day. What’s a girl to do? I’m just dying to know who the Canucks are going [...]

Canucks Sweep Round 1
I’m in love. I’m in love with a team of scrappy, funny, talented, kick ass men. This series was so fun. Guys who didn’t have the best regular seasons stepped up huge and really surprised me. Big Bear scored a huge goal and was a physical force. Welly decided he would take a hit and [...]

Canucks/Blues Take Two
Before I get into the game, just wanted to mention that I was on CBC Vancouver radio this morning for a brief interview about my blog and the Canucks. It was really fun even though I think my nervousness made me sound like a bit of a ditz. I want to say thanks to Craig [...]

The Most Beautiful Day of the Year
It’s here! Beautiful, mesmerizing, keeps you up at night through four OTs, throw your grandma down the stairs for tickets, playoff hockey! I have a good feeling, Vancouver is jumping, let’s just get this started. I don’t think I need to go into much more detail. Cheer your asses off and enjoy the day. I’ll leave [...]

Division Champs and Playoffs!
To quote my good bloggy friend eyebleaf, “Playoffs!!!!!1″
You know, in January I was kind of thinking these boys would be lucky to sneak into 8th and play San Jose/Detroit and look at them now. Division champs. It wasn’t a pretty division clinching game, but it doesn’t matter. The boys are playing all studly defensively and [...]

Catching Up
I’ve been a naughty blogger, eh? They clinch a playoff spot officially and I disappear. The Canucks ended up making me extremely grouchy on the weekend. I had just been bragging to some friends that actually still listen to me when I ramble on about the Canucks about how freakin lovely this team is and how [...]

Canucks/Avalanche Game Day
AHAHAHA. This is magical.
The Canucks have now lost 2 games in a row for the first time since January. Boo. I don’t really like it. It makes me a little grouchy. I had finally fully embraced being a fan of an unstoppable jaggernaut and I liked it. Heh. Oh well. The boys did climch a [...]

Burr Is A Peach
Burr was announced as the Canucks Bill Masterton trophy nominee and this article in the Vancouver Province by Ben Kuzma about his nomination is beautiful. This is why he is a fan favourite in Vancouver. More than just his recent career play with the Sedin twins. Guys like Burr are why I fell in love with hockey. [...]

Sad News For Taylor Pyatt
Taylor Pyatt’s fiancee Carly Bragnalo was killed in a car accident today. My thoughts are with Taylor Pyatt, his fiancee’s family, and his own family at this difficult time. Just a terrible tragedy. Carly Bragnalo sounded like a lovely person. RIP. Hopefully Taylor Pyatt takes some comfort from seeing his family and friends back home. [...]

First Place Baby
It wasn’t nearly as entertaining as the Hawks game, and the third period had me a little stabby considering they didn’t have one shot on net, but the important thing is they got it done in OT and got the two points. The good thing is the Canucks are able to win games different ways. [...]
